It didn't take long for Gold to get the doors to Regina's vault open. When they walked in, Henry, well Pan, was nowhere to be found as Regina was lying on the floor unconscious.
"Regina!" Mary Margaret shouted rushing over to her. Aurelia walked over, kneeling down next to her, grabbing Regina's hand. Everyone watched as she closed her eyes, humming to herself as her hair glowed, illuminating the vault.
When she was done, Regina groaned as she slowly came too. "What happened?" she asked, looking around.
"It's Henry" Emma said. "Somehow, Pan switched bodies with him."
"And I fell for it" Regina sighed. "We all did," Mary Margaret said.
"I wanted to believe what he was saying so badly, I missed all the signs. I just wanted to believe that he still needed me to be his mother" Regina said, dusting herself off.
"I still do."
Regina turned and was a little stunned to see who looked like Peter Pan walk right in. "Henry?" Regina asked, opening her arms as she pulled him into a hug.
David looked around at the room that had obviously been rifled through. "So what exactly did Pan come down here to get?" he asked.
Gold looked around, using his magic to try and sense what was missing. Coming across a small empty chest he froze.
"What?" David asked.
"Please tell me you didn't keep it down here," Gold said, as he turned to Regina. "Where else would I keep it?" Regina asked, sheepishly shrugging her shoulders.
"What is it? What did he take?" Aurelia asked. "The curse," Gold said. "The curse? As in the curse, like the Dark curse?" she asked. "The one you said brought you all here in the first place?"
"Why would Pan even want the curse? I already cast it" Regina said.
"And I broke it," Emma said. "Well, that doesn't mean he can't cast it again. And this time, without your parents' true love woven in, even you would be powerless to break it" Gold said.
"I don't understand. We're already in this land" David said. "What exactly would casting the curse in Storybrooke do now?" Mary Margaret asked.
"Is it going to work like the last one?" Emma asked.
"The last one was created to service the Queen's wishes. This will be done per Pan's desire. I would count on something hellish" Gold said.
"The curse to built to be unstoppable. There's nothing that can be done" Regina said.
"Well it is possible to stop it," Gold said.
"What?"
"By using the scroll that the curse is written on. It can only be undone by the person who used the scroll" Gold said. "That's you, Regina."
